Looks like an ad for a horror movie 😅

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago

In many ways, it is

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

It is a horror story, that's for sure.

Honestly that close up it could be either octogenarian candidate.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 months ago

Not with the orange slime, the hairy eyebrows, and the infinite black hole of demented sociopathy

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago

The orange skin is always a dead giveaway

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is immediately clear who that is. Get your vision checked.

my vision is perfect. still thought it was biden

No it could not, your phrasing gives away that you know exactly which octogenarian candidate this is.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

I don’t think so. Unfortunately since 2016 I’d recognize those gormless brows anywhere

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

From the eyes... Is this supposed to be Hunter Biden high on marijuana?

I definitely won't vote for him now.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I envy the two of you not being able to recognize those beady eyes immediately.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Oh they can.

Goes hard

Damn, "unfit" in general? Harsh 😂

what even is the point of this billboard? it would only serve to further entrench trumpists within their foxholes of delusion and wouldn't do anything to sway those who won't vote for him anyway.

it's not like the US has a horde of fence-sitters who haven't yet decided where to cast their ballot.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I generally agree.

That being said... All of the analysis, all of the sound arguments... They've already been made 1000 times.

This is different in the sense that it provides no explanation. Face. Word.

It's not anti republican. It doesn't induce shame in a reader simply for identifying as Republican.

There might be a subset of disillusioned republicans for whom this actually is actually a persuasive approach.

Edit: And I actually applaud whatever nerd realized that all the nerd talk has been had and was brave enough to try something else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Frankly, yes. It's refreshing to see "he's a fascist" people actually taking their own argument seriously for once.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

No one is hoping to sway Trumpists out of their foxholes. The fight is over swing voters.

In any constituency there are undecided voters who don't know who they'll vote for until election day. Since the US is a two party system I suppose they are a huge factor in the end result even though there might not be too many of them.
